Went on the activeaway in Denia (Oliva Nova) in Oct and really had a fantastic time. Cam ran a great programme for us all - he was organised, professional and fun. Andrea will definitely go far in the company too - she was bursting with positivity and encouragement. Learnt a lot of padel techniques, everyone seemed to get things out of it whether they were intermediate or advanced. I will definitely be going on another one.

What’s the best way to spend a Sunday afternoon? On the Jamie Murray VIP Client Day! We had 2 hours on court with Jamie, which was great fun (hope he enjoyed it too!) followed by a Q&A session with him. Thank you for organising this Active Away, we really enjoyed the event and appreciated being part of it.
